History

Historical Context

On 12 August 1997, Bollywood music mogul Gulshan Kumar was shot 18 times outside a Mumbai temple, a killing attributed to Dawood Ibrahim’s D-Company and prompting a major police crackdown on organized crime. The October 18, 2026 shooting of actor Tiger Shroff by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang echoes that legacy, leading Indian police to deploy rapid-response units and pursue cross-state arrests to deter further celebrity-targeted attacks.
